Read the passage: Visitor hand hygiene notice
To all visitors of the Maple Ward:
To protect patients with weakened immune systems, please follow these steps each time you enter or leave a patient room. First, remove any gloves you are wearing and discard them in the gray bin by the door. Next, apply one pump of alcohol-based sanitizer from the wall dispenser and rub all surfaces of your hands, including between your fingers and under your nails, until your hands are completely dry, about 20 seconds.
If your hands look visibly dirty, or if you are visiting a room marked with a green contact sign, skip the sanitizer and instead wash with soap and water at the sink for at least 20 seconds. Dry your hands with a paper towel and use the towel to turn off the faucet. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult while washing.
Thank you for helping us keep the ward safe.
Nurse Manager, Maple Ward

Garden Vegetable Lasagna: Cooking Directions
Keep frozen until ready to cook. Cook to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Conventional oven (recommended): 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. 2. Remove the tray from the carton and cut a small slit in the film cover. 3. Place the tray on a baking sheet on the center rack. 4. Bake 55 to 60 minutes. Remove the film, then bake 5 more minutes to brown the cheese. 5. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Microwave (1100 watts): 1. Cut a slit in the film. 2. Cook on high 6 minutes. 3. Rotate the tray a half turn and cook on 50% power for 8 to 10 minutes. 4. Let stand 2 minutes. Lower-wattage microwaves may need more time.
Serving size: 1 cup (250 g). Servings per container: about 4. Contains: milk, wheat, egg.

Answer: D — Rotate the tray a half turn and cook on 50% power.
Microwave step 3 follows the 6 minutes on high: rotate the tray a half turn and cook on 50% power for 8 to 10 minutes. Cutting the slit comes before, and standing comes after.

Read the passage: Why teenagers stay up late
Parents often blame screens when a teenager cannot fall asleep before midnight. Screens may play a part, but biology is a bigger factor than many adults realize. During puberty, the body begins releasing melatonin, the hormone that signals sleepiness, later in the evening than it did in childhood. As a result, many adolescents simply do not feel tired until 11 p.m. or later.
This shift collides with the school schedule. In many districts, high school classes begin before 8 a.m., which means a student who falls asleep at 11:30 p.m. and must wake at 6:00 a.m. gets six and a half hours of sleep. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that middle and high schools start no earlier than 8:30 a.m. so that students can get closer to the 8 to 10 hours of sleep that teenagers need.
Some districts that moved start times later have reported fewer late arrivals and better attendance. Critics point out that later start times can complicate bus routes, after-school sports, and parents' work schedules. Those concerns are real, but they are problems of logistics, and logistics can be solved. A tired student's brain cannot be scheduled into alertness. In my view, communities that keep a 7:30 a.m. bell are choosing convenience over their children's health.

Question 3Which statement best summarizes the passage?

AScreens are the main reason teenagers stay up late, so parents should limit phone use at nightBLater start times create bus and sports problems, so most districts have rejected themCA biological shift makes teenagers sleepy later, so early start times cut their sleep, and the author argues schools should start laterDTeenagers need less sleep than children because melatonin is released later

Show the answer
Answer: C — A biological shift makes teenagers sleepy later, so early start times cut their sleep, and the author argues schools should start later.
The passage moves from the biology of teen sleep to the conflict with early start times and ends with the author's call for later starts. It says biology matters more than screens, and it never claims teenagers need less sleep.

Read the passage: Two texts on community gardens
Text 1, from a neighborhood newsletter:
When the empty lot on Birch Street became the Birch Street Community Garden three years ago, few neighbors expected much. Today, forty-two families tend plots there. Retirees teach teenagers how to stake tomatoes, and a Saturday swap table moves extra zucchini to whoever wants it. The garden's real harvest, many members say, is the friendships. People who once passed each other without a word now share tools, recipes, and news.
Text 2, from a city parks report:
Community gardens offer measurable benefits, but they require sustained resources. Of the 18 gardens started with city grants since 2018, 5 have closed, most often because volunteer leaders moved away and no one replaced them. Water costs, liability insurance, and soil testing also add expenses that grants rarely cover beyond the first year. The department recommends that new gardens identify at least two backup coordinators and a funding plan for years two through five before applying.

Question 4According to Text 1, what happens at the Saturday swap table?

ARetirees sell tomato plantsBThe city tests soil samplesCExtra zucchini goes to whoever wants itDNew families sign up for plots

Show the answer
Answer: C — Extra zucchini goes to whoever wants it.
Text 1 says 'a Saturday swap table moves extra zucchini to whoever wants it.' The other activities are not described at the swap table.

Show the answer
Answer: A — The author supports them and considers the objections solvable.
The author calls the objections 'problems of logistics' that 'can be solved' and criticizes early bells, which shows support. The passage is not neutral, and it says biology matters more than screens.

Read the passage: Letter to the editor about a bike lane
To the Editor:
The city council should reject the plan to replace forty parking spaces on Main Street with a protected bike lane. Last month I counted cyclists on Main Street for one hour on a rainy Tuesday morning and saw only three. Clearly, almost no one in this town rides a bike, so the lane would sit empty.
Meanwhile, shop owners tell me their customers already struggle to find parking. My neighbor, who owns the bakery, says she would lose half her business. Other towns may have had success with bike lanes, but our town is different. The council should listen to the people who actually use Main Street.
R. Delgado

Question 9The writer's claim that the bakery owner 'would lose half her business' is best described as

Aa measured fact taken from sales recordsBan unverified prediction reported secondhandCa statistic published by the city councilDan observation the writer made personally

Show the answer
Answer: B — an unverified prediction reported secondhand.
The writer repeats what a neighbor says might happen; no records or data are given. That makes it a secondhand prediction, not a verified fact.

Answer: C — A person with a milk allergy should avoid this product.
The label lists milk under 'Contains.' Browning is part of the oven method only, both methods include a standing time, and the label says to keep the product frozen until ready to cook.

Show the answer
Answer: D — The student sleeps less than the 8 to 10 hours teenagers need.
From 11:00 p.m. to 6:15 a.m. is 7 hours 15 minutes, which is below the 8 to 10 hours the passage says teenagers need. Nothing in the passage links this schedule to a start time or to puberty.

Answer: C — 13/18.
Of 18 gardens, 5 have closed, so 18 - 5 = 13 remain open, or 13 out of 18. The fraction 5/18 is the share that closed.

Show the answer
Answer: D — The count covered only one hour on a single rainy morning.
One hour on a rainy morning is far too small and unusual a sample to show how many people ride bikes in the town. Naming the street or signing the letter does not weaken the evidence.

Show the answer
Answer: A — A city survey found that many residents avoid biking on Main Street because it has no protected lane.
The writer assumes the lane would sit empty because few people bike now. If people avoid biking there because there is no protected lane, the lane could increase cycling, which undercuts that assumption.
